Pros

Pro

Primarily sources used book stores

AbeBooks compiles prices from used book stores, acting much like eBay for used books.

Cons

Con

Deceptive, unreliable merchants

Many users have complained about information inconsistencies, shipping problems, and wrongful refusal of refunds. The percentage of orders that are actually fulfilled is estimated to be about 20%. While this isn't always the fault of AbeBooks.com, it might just be a lack of proper oversight.
